Information

Description

The minstrel stands about five foot seven, hair and eyes of the same hue of brown. A neatly-trimmed goatee circles his lips, the hairs there lightly shot through with red. He dresses in snug fitting clothing, a shirt of light blue-grey, and breeches an elusive grey-green. At his hip rides a sabre, and upon the other, hanging from a baldric about his waist, hangs a case for a lute...

History

Violent and dramatic is Acton, from his first approach to the Broken Dagger, and the firey courtship and battles to win the hand of his fair wife, Rhissanna. The man had commited his fair share of murder and killing, all while in the command of the Tellarion Cavalry, most notably his command at the Battle of Delonshire, where he had all of his foe brutally murdered, for daring to fight and stand against him. All the way to the death of his wife's sister, and the cruel man who was her husband.

Yet the dark-souled Bard is far from a man of iron heart. Twice he has come close to death in protecting his wife, and after the killing of Rhissanna's sister, he pledges his life to protect the woman's two young children, whom he and Rhissanna have taken in as their own. Now the warrior-troubador lends his blade where he believes it right, no longer following the mere path of destruction he once did. Woe betide those who stand in his way, however, especially those who threaten his wife and adopted children. For little will stop the man, short of death, from extracting due payment in crimson blood.
